摘要：

道德的水平空间隐喻是以左右空间位置概念为始源域向以抽象道德概念为代表的目标域映射的过程。研究设置两个实验，采用空间Stroop范式分别从行为和认知神经层面对该效应进行探究。结果发现：(1)词汇类型与呈现方位之间的交互作用不显著。(2)一致条件(道德词出现在右侧或不道德词出现在左侧)和不一致条件(道德词出现在左侧或不道德词出现在右侧)下，脑电成分P300、N200和N400的激活程度均无显著差异。结果表明，汉语道德概念词中可能不存在水平空间隐喻效应，个体不会以左右位置为参照表征道德概念。

Abstract:

The horizontal spatial metaphor of morality is the process of mapping from the concept of horizontal spatial orientation as the source domain to the target domain represented by abstract moral concepts. The study set up two experiments using the spatial Stroop paradigm to explore this effect from both behavioral and cognitive neural perspectives. The results showed that: 1) the interaction between vocabulary type and presentation orientation was not significant; 2) there was no significant difference in the activation levels of EEG components P300, N200, and N400 under consistent conditions (moral words appearing on the right and immoral words appearing on the left) and inconsistent conditions (moral words appearing on the left and immoral words appearing on the right). The results indicate that there may not be a horizontal spatial metaphorical effect in Chinese moral concept words, and individuals may not use left and right positions as a reference to represent moral concepts. To some extent, the study provides new empirical references for the study of moral conceptual metaphors and embodied morality.

Key words: moral concepts, horizontal space, conceptual metaphors, event-related potential
